Important Safeguards

WARNING WARNING
! !
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury when using your appliance, follow
these basic precautionary guidelines, which includes the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted
with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they may
contain vapors that could ignite or explode.
3. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the
wash water. These substances could ignite or explode.
4. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not
been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system
has not been used for such a period, before using a washing machine, turn on all hot-water
faucets and let the water flow for several minutes. This will release any accumulated
hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
5. Always unplug the washing machine from the power supply before attempting any service.
Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.
6. To reduce the risk of fire, clothes, cleaning rags, mop heads and the like which have traces of
any flammable substance (i.e. vegetable oil, cooking oil, petroleum based oils or distillates,
waxes, fats, etc.) must not be placed in the washing machine. These items may contain
flammable substances which, even after washing, may smoke or catch fire.
7. Never place items in the washer that have been dampened with gasoline or any combustible
or explosive substance. Do not wash or dry anything that has been soaked in or spotted with
any type of oil (including cooking oils). Doing so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
8. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary
when the appliance is used near children.
9. Pets and kids may climb into the machine. Check the machine before every operation.
10. Glass door or protector may become very hot during and after operation. Keep kids and pets
far away from the machine during and after operation.
11. This washing machine is not intended for use by persons (including kids) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the machine by a person
responsible for their safety.
12. Kids should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the machine.
13. When children become old enough to operate the appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the
parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe practices by qualified
persons.
